Dilemma...new Bronco or classic Mustang

Jrradke03

First world problems I know but I bought a 65 Mustang GT a year ago. I also had a reservation for a 21 Bronco that was pushed to 22. No big deal I thought as orders were taking a while to fulfill. However, after an order for a '22 basequatch 2 door in October, I recd word from my dealer that it's scheduled for production on March 28th. My problem is that I can't really afford both. So do I sell the Mustang (I can double money on this with how the classic car market has gone) and use the funds to pay for a new Bronco? Or do I pass on the Bronco for now and keep the GT? I hate to let go of an appreciating asset but I've loved the Bronco line since I was a kid. Any idea of how a 22 Bronco not used as a daily driver will value in several years? To me, both are considered toys and a luxury item. Sort of am investment that I can leave to my kids someday.

Is the GT a fastback /Rag top or coup

Sorry...it's a coupe. Fully restored about 10 yrs ago so it's pretty clean. It's an A code, not the K code.

I truly appreciate your honest opinions. My brain tells me to keep the GT since they will never make more and hopefully that market continues to rise. I do love how well old cars are made...so simple and the rumble of the 289 is unforgettable. But I agree that it's not a fastback. My heart wants them both. Again, I appreciate the comments. And thanks for not bashing me for the post. It's been eating at me since I heard from my dealer.

I've been following the Mustang market for close to 20 years, and I think it's starting to level out. I think any car, including a classic Mustang will go up in value to meet inflation, but I don't think 65-70 Mustangs will rise much faster that inflation at this point. I'd try to turn your Bronco for quick cash, keep the Mustang and order another Bronco. Right now the market is still ripe for Broncos, way more than Mustangs. You can sell the Mustang in 2 years and still do well, but your Bronco will be worth way more now compared to 2 years from now.
All this coming from someone who is selling a 70 Grande, so take it for what it's worth, just an opinion.
I'm also selling my Bronco once it gets in and have another on order. Profit from the first should help pay for the second.
Either way, keep enjoying Fords and freedom while they last!

I have a 69 Cougar XR7 S code vert, factory 4 speed. I'm not going to find another one like this. Have a WT ordered on 10/13/21. Not planning on seeing that anytime soon. I too thankfully do not need to make that decision as well. I'd say keep the Mustang. And what ever you do do not sell anything until you have both in hand. Good luck.

Thought I'd throw out a little eye candy. ;)

You are just never going to see anything like these cars again.

I will go against the grain. I say take your profit on the old classic and get the newer vehicle. Bronco might have problems, but nothing like an old classic. How many times do you want to scour the web and trader mags for parts? Do you enjoy working on your vehicle to keep it up and running?

If you like going to car shows and enjoy all the smiles that the classics bring, I get it.
But if it is any sort of a daily driver I think it is a tough to pick the Mustang.

Also as the segment of the population that loves that era Mustang ages, there is only so much demand unless it is a special collector grade car.

I believe the fastback GT was the most common, followed by the couple then the convertible. If it were a 350 I would say keep it. Just how I see it.
